Galaxy Size

Available (Width - Height), defined in UniverseTables.txt

• Tiny 24 - 24 (sum = 576 sectors)
• Small 36 - 36 (sum = 1296 sectors)
• Medium 48 - 48 (sum = 2304 sectors)
• Large 60 - 60 (sum = 3600 sectors)
• Huge 80 - 80 (sum = 6400 sectors)

Galaxy is sub-divided into four Quadrants

Star Density

Sum of sectors (see above) is divided by

• Sparse: /12 (example at "large" galaxy: 3600 sectors / 12 = 300)
• Medium: /10 (example at "large" galaxy: 3600 sectors / 10 = 360)
• Dense: /8 (example at "large" galaxy: 3600 sectors / 8 = 450)
